Scott,
Perhaps I missed something (or misunderstood some previous postings).
Aren't both the alkalines and silver oxide batteries 1.5 volts? I thought
that K&S adjusted the meter to work with 1.5 volt batteries period. I know
that he does return the camera with alkaline after a CLA, but won't just
swapping for 357 solve the discharge curve problem? I also had the
impression that John H. adjusted the camera to work with 1.5 volt batteries
when he did a CLA (instead of just inserting a converter). Is that not
correct? Could you back up and explain the problem again please?
Thanks.
Mike W.
